INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE
BURNERS AND SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
1. Turn off the main burners per instructions on page 31.
2. To inspect the spider/insect screens, remove the
burners. If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove
the burners to clean the screens.
3. Brush the spider/insect screens lightly with a soft
bristle brush (e.g. an old toothbrush).
CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect screens with
hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect
screens or enlarge the screen openings.
4. Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of
the burner tube. Once the spider/ insect screens and
burners are clean, replace the burner.
5. If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, please contact Customer Service
at 1-800-737-8815.
6. If holes are clogged, use a thin straightened paper
clip to open them. Never use a wire with a larger
diameter than the hole. If the hole is enlarged, the
burners will not burn properly.
CAUTION: Never use a toothpick to clean out the burner
holes as it may break off and clog the port.
If the burners are damaged, contact Customer Service
for replacement parts.

CLEANING THE SIDE BURNER
1. Turn off the side burner per instructions on page 31.
2. Clean the exterior of the side burner with a brass
brush.
3. Clear a clogged port with a straightened paper clip or
steel wire.
Never enlarge the burner ports.
CAUTION: Never use a toothpick to clean out the burner
holes as it may break off and clog the port.
CLEANING THE GRILLS
It is important to clean your grill after each use because
grease, salt and acidic marinades can damage the paint
and cause the grills to rust.
It is best to clean the grills immediately after cooking,
while they are still warm and before the grease and
deposits have had time to harden and dry out.
1. Turn off the grill per instructions on page 31.
2. Wearing a barbecue mitt, use a long-handled grill
brush to scrub the grills. Be careful not to touch the
hot grills.
GREASE TRAPS
It is important to clean the grease cup and tray after
every use. If oil builds up in the grease cup and grease
tray, a dangerous grease fire could occur.
Do not line the grease cup or grease tray with aluminum
foil because the foil may prevent grease from draining
properly.
1. Ensure the barbecue is turned off and allow it to fully
cool. Caution: The grease tray, cup and its contents
may still be warm. Be sure they have fully cooled
before handling.
2. Turn the barbecue around so you are able to access
the back of the grill. Remove the grease cup and the
grease tray.
3. Scrape grease from inside the tray and cup using a
spatula and a moist cloth. Dry fully to prevent rust.
4. Replace grease tray and then grease cup.
